[Title: HERE AM I] [Intro] Two weeks from now we walk through another door. I can see the auditorium. I can see the nations. But Lord— I'm looking higher than what my eyes can see. [Verse 1] The outward man can tell one story. The inward man can tell another. What looks weak may yet be strong. What looks silent may be learning how to speak. What looks hidden may be waiting on a door only Jesus Christ can open. So I will not tell You what You have to do. I will not force what only You can open. But something in my heart keeps crying— [Build] If You want us... we're here. [Hook] HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! HERE AM I! SEND ME, LORD! IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR— I'LL WALK THROUGH! IF YOU GIVE THE WORD— I'LL SPEAK TRUTH! NOT BY MIGHT! NOR BY POWER! BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS! HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING— DON'T LET ME BE AFRAID TO FOLLOW YOU! [Verse 2] We have walked through fire we never would've chosen. We have watched the outward man grow weak. Still the inward man is renewed day by day. And sometimes I hear those hands moving again. Sometimes I find myself dancing through the Scriptures. And my heart says— Look. Not at the weakness. Not at the circumstances. Look higher. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” So I don't need to know tomorrow. I only need to know Who holds it. [Hook] HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! HERE AM I! SEND ME, LORD! IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR— I'LL WALK THROUGH! IF YOU GIVE THE WORD— I'LL SPEAK TRUTH! LET FEAR LOSE EVERY LEVER! LET LOVE HAVE EVERY PART! TURN OUR EYES FROM THINGS THAT PERISH! FIX THEM UPON CHRIST! HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! [Bridge — quiet] There is a little book. There is a commission. “Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” And there is a Key. But the Key isn't ours. “He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.” Jesus— You have the Key. [Silence] So we won't kick the door open. We won't manufacture a sign. We won't pretend to know the hour. But if You turn the Key— [Build] we're ready. If You open his mouth— let Christ come out. If You put people before him— let them hear Jesus. If You give him one sentence— let it belong to You. If You give him nothing to say— let his life testify. Whatever You choose— HERE AM I. [Huge Final Hook] HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! HERE AM I! SEND ME, LORD! MANY PEOPLES! MANY NATIONS! MANY TONGUES! BUT ONLY ONE NAME WE CAME TO LIFT! JESUS CHRIST! NOT THE VESSEL! JESUS CHRIST! NOT THE SIGN! JESUS CHRIST! THE CHIEF CORNER STONE! JESUS CHRIST! THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE KEY! OPEN— AND NO MAN SHUTTETH! SHUT— AND WE WILL WAIT! SPEAK— AND WE WILL TESTIFY! SEND— AND WE WILL GO! NOT BY MIGHT! NOR BY POWER! BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS! [Breakdown] Maybe it's that auditorium. Maybe it isn't. Maybe it's two weeks from now. Maybe there's another door we haven't even seen. That isn't ours to decide. Ours is the answer. [Silence] “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” [Soft] Here am I. Send me. Use these hands. Use these feet. Use this mouth. Use this marriage. Use these songs. Use the years we didn't understand. Use the suffering. Use the laughter. Use the testimony. Use whatever remains. Until we see You face to face. [Final Rise] HERE AM I! USE ME, LORD! [Outro] Eyes above. Bible open. Heart willing. Door in Your hands. Here am I. Send me. [Silence] Jesus is the Lord.
